#That's a lot of solitary things...

[niwolah]

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last ten people who reblogged something from you! Get to know your mutuals & followers!! <3

What an interesting ask. Thanks, Smowkie!

Let me think for a while, it's actually not that easy...

Listening to music, singing and dancing to it. --- I only listen and sing to music when I'm driving to/from work and it's a lot different than doing it at home. I danced for the first time in months last week and my god, it felt good!

Writing. --- I love writing but it gets really hard to write when I come back home so exhausted that I can't do more than scroll endlessly... These days, though, I'm writing a lot, considering how much I usually write.

Watching my cats live their life. --- There's so much sleeping, I envy them.

Having my boyfriend's hands on me. --- Nothing sexual, you degenerates. He's just always touching me; drumming on me, pinching me, micro massaging me. I love it.

Reading. --- When I'm not scrolling after work/between shifts, I'm usually reading. I read a lot. I don't comment enough. I kudos every time.

Scoria and Sakura are best friends! It's so cute when I see the things they do together, and it makes me so beyond happy that they both came to live with me so that they could share their lives with each other. They absolutely insist on it, and does so much good for the other.

I can't imagine how else they could have found happiness if things hadn't worked out exactly as they did. Scoria has basically been Sakura's "emotional support snake" while she worked through things from her past I'll never fully know that caused her a lot of issues with panic and fear. Sakura knows this too, and looks out for her sister, the only one she truly trusts and feels completely safe with.

The moment they wake up they both want each other to snuggle and play with. Scoria loves to be affectionate with both me and her sister who seems to have not had this earlier in her life- but Scoria is showing her how nice it is not only directly but demonstrating with me and Sakura also trying, copying what she has seen her sister do.

Sometimes when one goes to check on the other they'll join in on... I'm not even sure what they were doing. But they had a good time while taking a mandated union break from digging tunnels for the isopods.

So happy I get to share in the adventures of these two best friends! It makes me so happy to see them living their best lives together, and being beyond content snuggled together with their found family.

solitary confinement fucks with me like nothing else like. i would much rather have my ribs broken again then to ever have to go into solitary again. we read this one article last spring that described solitary confinement as a "world-destroying world" and that rings true to me. i keep reminding myself that i have survived it before and could survive it again, i think about resistance and protest and the many many examples of resistances from inside and have been talking with other comrades, some of whom have also survived long-term solitary and some of whom have never and strategizing together. but it is so fucking hard.

Speak Now is Taylor’s most neglected child and it makes me sad. I don’t think it’s intentional, I just think that there’s a lot of heaviness attached to it that makes revisiting it a bit painful.

twelfth night is not a Shakespeare I have read or seen but now I’m a bit terrified of ever consuming it. I definitely would never touch that audio drama with a 10 foot pole though (so so tempting. I might give in)

i was normal about twelfth night and held many normal emotions about it i really liked it for being this fun very messy queer drama until i listened to david tennant malvolio which ruined my life i cannot stress enough all of my evil derangements are because of david tennant malvolio if he had not done any of that i would have been FINE

the utter disconnect between Tim and Dick in Red Robin #1 is kinda legendary I'm not gonna lie

minjoon is a difficult person to faze and even more difficult to scare. because of this, he's never really enjoyed horror games all that much - ones which rely on jumpscares in particular, he's never understood the appeal of. regardless of this, however, he has played some scary games on stream entirely at the request of his chat. he always worries that his reactions are underwhelming and kind of against the point of playing horror games for content, but chat all eat it up - there's something about the way he'll just blink and utter a quiet "ah" or "i didn't expect that" when something startling happens and then continue on with what he was talking about before that a lot of them find very entertaining.

I love talking abt dan feng so much because he seems so distant, so untouchable, so removed from others because of his haughty air or the ferocity of his power and the significance of his status ?? but he’s enchanted by weapons and has his tail swishing while looking at them like !! and even around the high cloud quintet some if not most of his decorum remains its ingrained into him, impossible to seperate.

Maybe the weirdest good that has come out of my aromanticism is that I just... appreciate how alone I am. I've learned to really evaluate how I view my time and how I spend it with myself, and it has enabled me to slowly try more and more things out of a desire to enjoy my own company and myself even more <3

What sorts of things do you think Odette has stolen from Yein? Does she change what she steals or does she consistently prefer certain items?

From strangers, Odette tends to steal things that are clearly lover’s tokens -- cufflinks, rings, bracelets and necklaces, handkerchiefs, watches - pocket and wrist. Anything with sentimental value that a lover touched just sort of… calls to her.

From friends, it’s different. She likes to take things they’ve handled a lot but won’t miss. At least not right away. She has pocketed many a roe-sized handkerchief from her friend, Yellow Rose, for instance, and she takes special delight in pulling one out when someone needs one.

From Yein specifically? Their spoons. The wooden ones they have brought to their lips time and time again, the ones oiled and worn by their fingers, the ones they have gestured with as they sit with Odette at the table in their home; talking and laughing and enjoying the silence together. Certainly, Yein will run out of spoons and when they do I’m not sure what she’ll switch to. Not more cutlery, that would be rude.

ok just to like paint a picture so. today i woke up at 9 and went to my morning class (was a little bit late) then i got brunch and canceled therapy (was a whole Ordeal trust me..) for like an hour or over idk, then i went back home to work on this research paper & got some food from a local café, then i went to a meeting i had and then walked to my friends workplace and we walked back and then i kind of have just lazed around and im watching my friends show from 1-2. and then TMRW i have a thing early afternoon & a d+d session for like five hours until 10 pm basically and then im probably sleeping in bc of the whole 1-2 thing. And then tmrw i have basically nothing but i then have to call my family bc i havent in a while and i need to do all of my homework. so needless to say this has been a hell of a semester start

i think it actually matters a lot the way that we talk about incarcerated people and prison related topics, because the language we use and the way that we sensationalize prison topics can have real-life impacts on the wellbeing of currently incarcerated people, especially people held in solitary confinement.

it is inappropriate and misleading to share a baseless claim that everyone held in solitary confinement are cannibals. this is very obviously not true (there are around 122,000 people held in solitary in the US for a wide variety of reasons) and saying that all 122,000 of them are cannibals doesn't help you make your point. solitary confinement is violating, cruel, and torturous regardless of what someone's charges are, and the fact that luigi mangione was put in solitary confinement should just highlight how arbitrary and widespread solitary confinement is within US prisons. i have no idea why you decided to make the claim that solitary confinement is only for cannibals on this post, but that's a fucked up thing to say on a lot of levels.

if anyone wants to learn more about the landscape of solitary confinement in the US, i highly recommend reading about the 2013 California hunger strike to protest solitary confinement and the Black and Pink National report about solitary confinement policies for trans people.

So to catch you up to speed

Luigi Mangione is an innocent man who has not been confirmed to have been involved in any crime.

We have police documents confirming he was not DNA tested or fingerprinted, and confirmation no usable DNA or fingerprints were recovered at the crime scene due to incomplete prints and immense DNA contamination of New Yorks streets.

No evidence has linked him to the crime.

No facial recognition has even remotely come close to identifying the cctv suspects face as that of Luigi. His own family and friends do not see a resemblance. Most people agree the features in the cctv do not match the very well documented features of Luigi Mangione.

Luigi Mangione has no history of violence nor with firearms. He is a vegan pacifist with no history of mental illness and an aversion to killing even bugs.

He is still only a SUSPECT and all involvement in any crimes are merely ALLEGED at this time. Alleged by the most corrupt police force in the entire nation; the NYPD who do more organized crime than they've ever stopped.

Luigi Mangione's attorneys confirmed they have been shown absolutely nothing that even places Luigi at the scene of the crime.

People have repeatedly tried to recreate the entire timeline of events and found it is not physically possible to do what was alleged in the time frame police gave. Especially dubious for Luigi Mangione to have done given his recent, crippling back injury.

Luigi Mangione in his own words has said police planted evidence on him and are not being honest about his arrest or what he had on him at the time.

There is no body cam footage of Luigi's arrest.

There is no autopsy report for Brian Thompson.

Luigi has so far been:

Stripped of his hat, jacket and shoes and forced to walk in the cold in December wearing wet socks.

Forced to urinate on himself where police then took and published humiliation photos of him.

He was then stripped of his shirt pants and socks and put in a blue psychiatric gown and strapped to a chair inmates called "the torture chair" and left for prolonged periods of time. To the point the entire inmate population at the prison protested in anger.

He was slammed unto a brick wall, choked, and shoved by various police officers for no reason.

Was marched through nyc at gunpoint by officers with military firearms, forced to wear chains

Was called a murderer by the mayor of NYC on national television.

Was then placed in solitary confinement for weeks. Something extremely damaging psychologically to be exposed to for even just a few days. Something usually reserved for cannibals.

He is now being forced to sleep on the floor despite again, a crippling back injury.

Again, he has not even had trial yet. He is an innocent man by the very definition of the law. He has nothing tying him to any crime. And even the crime itself was a nobody being shot in a city where nobodies are shot everyday, seven days a week. And those shooters don't get this treatment. Cannibals don't get this treatment. Serial killers don't get this treatment. Why are they doing this? Because we entered an oligarchy and they want people who are rich to matter more than people who are not. The NO ONE, no name, insignificant person that Brian THOMPSON always was and WILL ALWAYS BE is more important because of his net worth, to the fascist oligarchy we've entered into, than the innocent man, data scientist and robotics engineer with a promising future that is Luigi Mangione.

The NYPD doesn't want him to be innocent. They are torturing him gleefully and postponing his trial because they know he's innocent. They just want to scare the public into understanding that the ultra rich, even those who's names will never be remembered as anything other than markings on a never visited tombstone, are the only persons who matter now. Not yours. Never yours. You're poor. They'll torture you without a trial too. Your life means nothing to them. Your children dying in school shootings means nothing to them. Pinning a crime on an innocent man they can beat to scare the public out of class consciousness is the only thing that matters to them now. Depose them.

I fallen really far into mindlessly playing sudoku on my phone. Bc I’ve decided a sudoku app with like. 10k levels across like five different game modes and difficulties is the thing I should be a completionist about

But I’ve reached a point. Over a thousand into the easiest puzzles that like. I zone out a LOT while playing. Like. I wouldn’t say I’m that good at it. Bc all I do is the easy puzzles but like. I zone out some times and then i will be half way thru a puzzle like wait shit. Did I just start a new one-
